Please note: This is an Imperfect Plant

Our Imperfect Plants are healthy and ready to grow, but they show a little more character than those in our main range. These plants may have some cosmetic quirks such as old pest damage, slight browning, twisted or stunted growth, or a few damaged leaves. None of these issues affect their long-term health, and every plant is checked by our team to ensure it’s rooted and ready to thrive in your care.

By choosing an Imperfect Plant, you’re giving a perfectly good plant a second chance. It’s a simple way to grow your collection while helping us reduce waste and make our production more sustainable. Each one is unique, with its own story and charm, perfect for anyone who values growth in all its forms.

Due to the nature of these plants, Imperfect Plants are not eligible for exchanges or refunds.

Anthurium sp. Napo is a rare tropical anthurium native to the mid‑elevation forests of the Napo region in Ecuador. It is known for its large, glossy, heart‑ or arrow‑shaped leaves borne on red‑green petioles. The foliage is thick and deep dark green, often with minimal venation and striking lobes. It grows both terrestrially and epiphytically in its native habitat.

Native to:
The mid‑elevation cloud forests of the Napo region, Ecuador, where it grows both on the ground and as an epiphyte under canopy cover. Leaves are thick, glossy and deep green with a broad heart or arrow shape, emerging from stout red‑green petioles.

Water:
Maintain slightly moist but well‑drained soil. Water when the top third of the potting medium begins to dry. Avoid letting it sit in waterlogged conditions to prevent root issues.

Light:
Place in bright, filtered light. It tolerates medium indoor light but growing under healthy leaf colour requires plenty of indirect light. Avoid direct sun, especially midday rays, to prevent leaf scorch.

Humidity:
Prefers high humidity—ideally above 70%. In average UK indoor conditions, mist regularly, group together or use a humidifier/grow tent.

Temperature:
Ideal range is 18–26 °C, with a lower limit of around 16 °C; below that, leaf damage may occur. Protect from cold drafts and maintain stable warmth
